I started playing this with RoI after not playing much since TTK. I never really put more thought into picking my gear than "well, it's got a bigger number up top, better equip that". However, now that I'm nearing 365, I was wondering what constitutes a good roll and what sorts of stats are favored. Like, when people say something has a god roll, are they referring to the bars or the perks? And how do some of these perks differ? As in, some perks say they reduce recoil, others increase stability, and others increase handling but to my untrained eyes, these do the same thing. I mostly do pve cause I'm a big dumb baby who doesn't like getting shot by people who are better than me, if that helps.

In short, is there some guide that defines terms and ranks perks in terms of what is generally more useful and what isn't?

ok so two guns that are uh... the same gun, they will have the same stats/bars. ie. two of 'the wounded' will have the same impact/fire rate/etc. only the perks are different.

from there you want perks that... I guess address weaknesses the gun might have. ie. handcannons weaknesses are range and reload speed, so range boosting perks and reload perks are good. Pulse rifles are unstable, so stability boosting perks are good to ensure tight burst groupings and so on.

generally you want perks that are universal or easy to trigger (and are useful). ie. firefly triggers often in pve but less so in pvp. Guerilla fighter is useless you will never ever use the cover it wants you to

there's resources on reddit and what not, but also pay attention to the guns people post here, good or bad.

Top spawn immediately push outside and try and rotate around so the other team is in the four-way hallway with the central pillar. I would run a feignt left to that same room to see if I could get radar ticks (central pillar in that hall lets you check this approach completely protected from sniper fire) and engage before breaking off and going through courtyard to my teammates. If they followed in numbers my teammates would push back from courtyard to our spawn and nail them.

If they stayed in pillar hall we'd compress on the inside bar and have one watch outside, one watch door to pillar hall and one shade back to escalator to head glitch the escalator if the team rotated to that position. But everyone could team shot the door to the pillar hall and nade it if they pushed.

If we got the low spawn we'd bum rush escalator to try the same thing. Just stay out of the pillars hall. Occasionally I would push right from lower spawn solo to do the same read on the pillar hall before going up to bar to meet up with teammates.

We lost to a very good team of 3 jugg matador fucbois, I honestly don't see a counter to a good team of those guys.

We then lost to a team of shitters that camped pillar hall with 2 stormlock s with electrostatic and a Titan with that super charge artifact. loving dumb and I knew this would happen. To be fair we each made one terrible play in that match so we all did our part to help them win, but we should have crushed them and would have if I played it more aggressive with storm shotty. But holding top and playing slow worked against everything but those fucks. We beat some very good teams, lost to one good one, and kinda blew it against some retards.

Dunka, Betty and I got 6-0 and fell the gently caress apart. Couple of tough teams early but it ramped right the gently caress up at 6. Lack of map knowledge crushed us.

We fought 3 teams that used a sunsinger with the skorri artifact (one of which also used Tlaloc). Can't say I think it's worth it when stormcaller / voidwalker are both so powerful right now.

We had some easy pickings but when we lost, we LOST. Still, it was fun and I got some better light level armor out of it so I can hardly complain.

Any good subclass to use memory of felwinter on besides nightstalker? I'm thinking it might be good on voidwalker too, especially in trials. Double axion bolt with ophidian aspect and life steal or surge.

Same as it was:
Chance on wins for the yr1 and yr2 flawless armor (not the green and gold stuff, the grey and black stuff - winged sun whatevers). In place of the blindsight gear
5 wins for armor (got boots with INT and strength and side arm ammo) - about as trash as they come
7 wins for weapon (got the shotgun) - it's base range is way too low and it can't drop with rifled (as far as I know). It has hammer forged and another range perk and looks real pretty but I infused it straight away. (these are the blue and yellow weapons).
Chest has a chance for exotic + armor + weapon + emblem on your first run + ornament.

Bounties will also drop a year 2 weapon consumate with level *unless you're maxed. I got a water star. I was 373 running it today and I got all my drops at around that, the 5, 7 wins and the loot crate all dropped pretty well higher (around 377).

Dunno what losses give out, didn't lose a game on the way to 9-0.

I got the scout rifle and titan mark. The scout rifle looks like it'll be ok for plinking on the one in 50 games I actually bother to use a scout rifle for 5 mins before going back to something good, but should be really fun for PVE because it can be made to have explosive rounds and zen moment. Also the sights are really loving pretty as hell and the aim in speed is really nice. I wanted the AR or the pulse because they look like a lot of fun, same with the sniper rifle.


Get used to shotguns if you're going to run it this week. We had 2/3 of our team running shotties a nightstalker and a jugg titan, I ran striker with a sniper and tlw and only really had the opportunity to actually fire my sniper rifle 4 times across all 7 matches. 3 times I got kills, the other time it was a body close range and tlw finish off while I was getting shotgun rushed. There's not much point in bringing one, even the long site lines have a lot of poo poo in the way so even if you're countering a sniper you can hide and glide close with grenades and make it a primary or shotgun battle. It was handy to have when people were peaking corners etc, but it wasn't worth it. Only 2 teams we faced had snipers in their team, one of the teams had 2/3 sniping and we smashed 'em 4-1, the other team was 1/3 sniping and he never even pulled it out.

When I used it, I'd get a kill and overshield when I had double charges, leaving me with one charge. Another kill while shielded would have it recharge without burning the second charge but if there wasn't 2 charges you wouldn't get an overshield.

I found though that by the time the "extend duration of force barrier" perked force barrier ran out I'd have both charges ready anyway.

tbh I couldn't think of a situation, when I hosed with it where I had no barrier and the 2nd charge wasn't procced where I felt disadvantaged in some way

That said, you do need to have two charges present for the overshield to kick in on kill. Again though, the only time you wouldn't have both charges if you had a barrier, got supered and spawned you'd have a 30 second wait max before it would work.

Either way your poo poo cools down faster with felwinters so it's not a big deal. Yeah fair enough you can't get 2 shields in 5 seconds or whatever, but double magnetic grenades, an overshield and then having disintegrate work properly allows some nefarious poo poo.

For instance; running NBB, 44 curtain call and felwinters artifact I got an overshield by killing a dude, slid and killed a 2nd, had the shield burned down by a dude with an AR and then just one tap (from eyasluna) punched him to death because the melee charge (2nd one) was still there. Even in 6s it's going to be rare there's a 4th dude right there to wreck you.

Yeah having a 2nd overshield then proc would have been nice, but I tried to just stay alive for a bit longer, throwing grenades etc by the time I died and spawned it was like 10 seconds before I had two full charges.


Tl:dr: need 2 charges to get 1 overshield. 1/2 charges still allows force barrier to recharge on kill and disintegrate to work. If you can't make it work as is, you wouldn't be able to make it work if 1/2 charges gave overshield because you're a scrub.
